Zeke raised his ss and spoke sincerely.


    Nash smiled slightly and said, "We''re family. I just hope that in the future, the Mares will show less hostility toward my wife''s family."


    Zeke''s cold gaze swept over Leonard and Minerva. "Rest assured. From now on, anyone who dares to speak ill of my daughter will answer to me. I even n to hand over all the Mares'' assets to her." Leonard and Minerva lowered their heads, avoiding Zeke''s gaze and not daring to speak.


    Ster lifted his ss and said, "Let''s not discuss these matters at the dinner table. Let''s drink and eat."


    Zeke quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, let''s not talk about it. Let''s drink. This toast is for all of you!"


    After saying this, he downed his drink in one gulp.


    Ster raised his ss to Nash and said, "I won''t be too polite, then."


    Nash nodded with a smile and raised his ss as well.


    Catching a whiff of the drink, Ster eximed, "Is this peach wine?"


    Zekeughed heartily. "Colonel Orwell, you have an impressive nose to recognize the drink by its scent!"


    Ster smiled, "I once had peach wine at the General''s ce. He got it from Jiverville''s Peach Flower District. I remember it was a hundred-year-old brew!"


    Zeke admitted, "This is from 1975. A bottle of hundred-year peach wine is priceless and hard to find. We couldn''t buy it even if we wanted to."


    Nash raised his ss and sniffed, detecting the faint aroma of peach blossoms.


    Just the smell was intoxicating and left a lingering aftertaste.


    He took a gentle sip, finding the drink soft on the pte and sweet. It filled his mouth with the fragrance of peach blossoms.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    The 1975 peach wine was already this exquisite. How would the hundred-year-old brew taste?


    His father certainly knew how to enjoy life. He thought he should visit him some time to try the century-old brew.


    "Nash... I... I want to toast to you too... I was wrong before. I apologize and hope you''ll forgive me," Minerva stammered, standing with her ss.


    Leonard quickly added, "Nash, Minerva truly knows she was wrong. She personally cooked this meal to make amends."


    Zeke also spoke up for Minerva, "Minerva has been with the Mares for 25 years, and this is the first time I''ll be eating her cooking!"


    Ster guessed that Nash and his wife''s family probably had some past conflicts with Leonard''s family. He picked up the wine bottle and filled Nash''s ss, speaking earnestly, "You''re all family, after all. No conflict can''t be resolved."


    Nash smiled wryly. "Do you all think I''m someone who likes to hold grudges?"


    Hearing this, Minerva was overjoyed and grew teary-eyed. "So, you''re forgiving me? I... I''ll drink to that first!"


    She raised her ss with both hands and downed it in one gulp.


    Nash smiled and finished his second ss of wine.


    He had to admit, the peach wine truly tasted exceptional.


    Although he was not much of a drinker, he found himself somewhat enamored with the vor.


    "Don''t just drink, everyone. Start eating before the food gets cold!" Yvonne reminded them.


    Zeke was in high spirits. He said with a smile on his face, "Yes, let''s eat. I want to try my daughter-inw''s cooking!"


    He picked up a piece of pork rib and

    then gave a thumbs-up.


    "Delicio As expected of a


    descendant of a royal chef. The


    cooking is superb!"


    Minerva felt shy and said, "I''m d that you like it, Dad. I''ll try to cook more often for you all."


    Minerva was now thoroughly convinced by Nash.


    She realized that maintaining her previous attitude might get her thrown out by Zeke, so she decided to change.


    Ster picked up a chicken drumstick and took a bite. The crispy skin and tender, spicy flesh made his eyebrows curve into a smile.


    Yvonne asked softly, "Colonel Orwell, how''s the drumstick?"


    Ster beamed. "It''s excellent, even better than the ones in any restaurant!"


    Yvonne blushed and said, "If you like it, eat more. I made the dish myself!"


    "Oh? I thought all youngdies from wealthy families just sat around to be waited on. I didn''t expect you to be able to cook such delicious chicken!" Sterughed heartily.


    Yvonne giggled. "That just shows how special I am! Try the baked fish! I made that one too."
